Keeping salt from sticking together in shaker?
Every year in monsoon season in AZ I have salt that won't shake.
I have to keep the shaker in the refrigerator to make it work. Is there anything I can put in the shaker with the salt to absorb the moisture? TIA -- Untie the two knots to email me "Madness is not a consequence of uncertainty, but of certainty." Nietzche |

Has nothing to do with breaking up salt clumps mechanically... in fact attempting to separate clumped salt when moist only worsens the situation. When salt is clumped due to excessive moisture it's best to just leave the salt alone while waiting for the humidity to abate, otherwise the salt will begin to further dissolve same as when stirring salt in a pot of water disolves faster due to agitation, and then when teh humidty lessens the salt will be solidly encrusted, no longer suitable for use in a salt shaker. Both rice and popcorn kernels absorb and wick moisture to their interiors without it condensing on their surfaces the way moisture condences on the surfaces of salt crystals. Rice and popcorn kernels behave similar to those those desiccant capsules sometimes included with medications... both work quite well at keeping the interior of a salt shaker dehumidified, and in turn detering salt from clumping, because they only release the absorbed moisture during periods of low humidity, therefore keep working, and working, and working.... ---= BOYCOTT FRANCE (belgium) GERMANY--SPAIN =--- ---= Move UNITED NATIONS To Paris =--- ********* "Life would be devoid of all meaning were it without tribulation."

The OP asked for something to absorb the moisture. Rice does absorb the moisture. The salt stays dry and runs freely. You'd have to shake like hell to get a little grain of rice to break up a clump of salt. |

Your knowledge never ceases to amaze me, Sheldon. I wondered how anything
could be more hygroscopic than salt and still be food safe. But it makes sense that agitating damp salt would only speed its liquification. Personally, I never had much luck using shakers in humid environs. I almost always pinch it from my palm.
